    Default GPU temp, frequency & load in conky?

    I use the the radeon driver and would like to know if there's a way to read the freq (RAM & core?) and load of the card for displaying the data in conky? Something akin to fglrx's aticonfig?

    I can read the temperature of the core via hwmon, I'm just falling short on the other info, any help would be appreciated.

    Oh, I have also set my power method to "dynpm" so it would be nice to see the freq change as the load changes :P

    Code:
    cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/radeon_pm_info
    dumps the current frequencies, but it's marked as "debug". Not sure if it can be integrated into conky.

    While I'm sure your method work's, it wont work my end. I have no debug folder under /sys/kernel/. This is probably due to the fact I run a custom kernel with a lot of crap cut out :P

    But thanks anyway :P

    so do I (gentoo); you will need to enable debugfs ("Kernel Hacking" -> "Debugging Filesystem") for that.

    I recompiled Debugging filesystem in and I now have the debug folder under /sys/kernel. However that folder is empty, I'm presuming I need to add something else to get the dri folder there?
